Price and Availability: You'll have to excuse my forgetfulness as I again can only give a ballpark value for losing my receipt. I bought this 237 mL bottle for around 500-600 pesos (11-13 USD) from the nearest supermarket in my place. While it is not as affordable as the other moisturizers in your neighborhood drugstore, the product is quite easy to purchase.
Packaging: Simple, hygienic and quite sturdy. Very good, unless packaging is a factor for you.
Texture and Scent: The product is easy to squeeze out of its bottle thanks to its peculiar texture. It is not runny, not heavy, but it holds its shape well - making this product quite easy to spread on the face. As with all Cetaphil products, this moisturizer is fragrance-free, but it has a certain glue-like scent to it
Ingredients: (COSDNA link) If you're one of those who have aversions - personal, physical, psychological, whatever - on fatty alcohols, then you might want to steer clear of this one as Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion has a lot of it. Also, you might not want to use this on damaged or injured skin as it has Ceteareth-20, which is carcinogenic according to advocates of natural products, but is an OK ingredient with the FDA.
Finish/Effect: Just after application, the moisturizer leaves a thin, oily film on the skin which gradually tones down, leaving you with a non-greasy, soft and moisturized skin. I've been using this for weeks and so far, I've had no breakouts from the fatty alcohols in it.
Rating: Very basic moisturizer, although not as affordable as the others with similar, average performance. It has a few ingredients users might want to be careful of, but it does its job well, anyway.
Value for money: 3/5
Ingredients: 2/5
Performance:4/5
